Eustáquio bluntly: “I feel a champion at FC Porto”, explains why | OneFootball

Stephen Eustáquio admitted that he feels like a champion with FC Porto, highlighting the contribution he made throughout the season, even though he did not play many minutes in competition.

The Canada international midfielder highlighted the work done on the so-called recovery days, when the starters recover and the rest of the squad train at a higher intensity. In his view, that effort was also part of the road to winning the championship.

Eustáquio stressed how demanding those training sessions are, especially for the less-used players, at a time when the frustration of not playing can weigh heavily. Even so, he assured that he always approached those sessions at full intensity, trying to show the coach he was available and to help his teammates in the most difficult moments of the season.

The midfielder’s reflection comes after a season in which FC Porto once again won the national title. In the blue-and-white squad, the idea of collective commitment has been pointed to as one of the factors behind the victorious campaign, with several players valuing not only performances on the pitch, but also the daily work at Olival.

A club member, Eustáquio added his emotional connection to FC Porto to the professional dimension of the achievement. The player therefore believes that the sacrifice he made in training and the way he tried to stay competitive throughout the season give him reason to feel the title is his too.
